Word origin
The word 'equational' is derived from the noun 'equation', which comes from the Latin 'aequatio' meaning 'equalization' or 'making equal'. The concept of equations has been fundamental in mathematics for centuries, dating back to ancient civilizations like the Babylonians and Greeks. Equations are used to represent relationships between quantities and find unknown values. The term 'equational' emerged in the context of algebra and mathematics to describe anything related to equations or involving the process of solving them.
